I really don't see the great significance of the Wlad win. He was 40 and had been out for 18 months having been completely outboxed by Fury. Fury's win was more significant. If Wlad had been active and on a winning streak or something then fair enough, but that he was in off a bad loss and that he couldn't continue after the Joshua loss kind of sums up where Wlad was really. He was at the end and it was a last roll of the dice.

I agree with all the points except the date of the fight. There is no reason it shouldn't happen this year. Fight in your prime and see who can handle it. None of this procrastinating year after year just to offer something less than thrilling. Get on with it, nobody is going hungry, just do your job.
